Question 1Section A: multiple choice
A 5kg block is pulled up a rough incline at 37∘ to the horizontal by a force of 60N parallel to the incline. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.25. Take g=10ms−2,sin37∘=0.6 and cos37∘=0.8. What is the block's acceleration up the incline?
Question 2Section A: multiple choice
Two rigid, sealed containers are in thermal contact through a thin conducting wall, and the pair is insulated from everything else. One holds 3 moles of helium at 250K; the other holds 1 mole of oxygen at 600K. Both gases are ideal and the oxygen has no vibrational motion. What common temperature do they reach?
Question 3Section A: multiple choice
An 8.0Ω resistor and a capacitor are in series across a source whose voltage is v=10+20sinωt volts. At this angular frequency the capacitor's reactance is 6.0Ω. Once steady conditions are reached, what average power is dissipated in the resistor?
Question 4Section A: multiple choice
In a Young's double-slit experiment with light of wavelength 600nm, the upper slit is covered by a thin transparent sheet of thickness 6.0μm and refractive index 1.5. What happens to the central bright fringe?
